“State of Washington, D.C.” sounds stupid. Not that statehood has a snowball’s chance in Hell of happening anyway.
Wow, this is going to be even more annoying to the people in the State of Washington.
Does DC stand for Democrat Corruption?
It’s more than obvious that they haven’t taken a walk over to the achieve and read the Constitution.
That would really lock in the electoral votes.
“District of Columbia” was actually the name of the entire area, and Washington was just a part of it. Thus, that name should be it, or “Columbia”, or perhaps “State of Columbia” if you want to be persnickety about latching onto the old format.
Douglass? No thanks. Great man (truly for a black), but still, I want absolutely no quarter on black PCness taking over everything now, especially really important things. Sick of these sycophants screaming and fighting (literally) for their way and getting it. They deserve the boot, not boot-licking.
Name should honor him and the longtime Representative from the state of Michigan who recently retired after 59 years.
They can call it Dingellbarry. Anther name would be Oprahoma.
The Federal Hood

First, the District they drew up was too small. It should have been big enough to encompass the workforce (and hangers-on) of a modern super-power capital. Of course, how could they know?
Second, they should have made it clear: DC gets no representation in Congress and cannot vote for President!
DC is the District of Government. It is a conflict of interest for them to vote on the federal government!
